Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Apple however, are doing the opposite and offering new job opportunities including data scientists, software designers, and cybersecurity experts. Currently Amazon has 20,000 tech related jobs open, and Facebook is offering to hire 10,000 new product and engineering job positions by the end of the year. Overall software engineers seem to be the most sought-after potential employees. Both Apple and Google also hired more employees during the 2008 financial crisis.
